IMPROVED PAINT.

The Schedule referredto in these Letters Patent and peaking part of thesame.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, EBEN S. BURNS, of Portland, in the county ofCumberland, and State of Maine, have invented a new andnseful ImprovedPaint; and I hereby declare the followingto be a full, clear, and

exact description of the same, and of the method of preparing andcompounding the same, so as to enable others to manufacture and preparethe invention,

The purposeofmyinvention is to produce a paint, which does not require acoating or preparation 0nthe article to be painted, before the paint isapplied.

It is well-known, that 'in many kinds of fine or finished work, andother work, that the wood must first be prepared by rubbing andpolishing, and then a coat,

of priming laid on, which is afterward rubbed with sand-paper, or someother securing and smoothing-, preparation, I design to produce anarticle which will obviate this necessity.

My invention consists in a composition or mixture of turpentine, whitelead, linseed-oil, japan, beeswax, tar, and rosin.

. one, of tar; one, of rosin. 1

I compound my paint in the following proportions:

; .Two parts of turpentine; two, of white lead; one, of

boiled linseed-oil; one, of japan one, of beeswax;

What I claim as my invention, and desire tosecure I by Letters Patent,is-

The described composition of ingredients, when compounded in the manner,proportions, and for the purposes hereinbefore set forth. 4
